The Law of Negligence

Fault in auto accidents is often decided using what is known as the law of negligence. This is a technique used by car accident lawyers and courts to require negligent drivers to pay for damage
caused by their negligence. This includes damage to the vehicle and driver.

When determining negligence, courts consider several factors; some of these factors which are used to determine negligence include:

Driving on the wrong side of the road

Driving at a speed that is too fast or too slow for the posted speed limit

Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs

Failure to use signals when turning

Driving in a manner that is unsafe for weather or traffic conditions

Failure to obey traffic signs and signals

Driving on the wrong side of the road

There are additional factors that are used to determine fault in an accident, such as:

Willful disregard, or intentional reckless conduct

Product liability if accidents are caused by a defect in the vehicle

In some cases of intoxication, the alcohol provider can be found at fault
